Trivia
- The film is a loose adaptation of the ancient Indian folktale 'Vikram and Vetaal', but set in a modern-day fantasy context.
- It was shot in both Hindi and Telugu simultaneously, with the Telugu version titled 'Vikram' releasing the same year.
- The movie features a rare dual role for lead actor Mithun Chakraborty, playing both the heroic Vikram and the ghostly Vetaal.
- Director Shantilal Soni was primarily known for Gujarati films, making this Hindi fantasy a notable shift in his career.
- The special effects for the ghost sequences were considered quite advanced for a mid-80s Bollywood film on a modest budget.
- The soundtrack, composed by Bappi Lahiri, included the popular dance number 'Pyar Ka Karz' sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle.
- Despite its fantasy genre, the film's plot incorporates elements of a crime thriller, blending mystery with supernatural themes.
